Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Are we talking about shooting them from their roost or hunting near their roost? Hunting near their roost:Absolutely. Shooting them from their roost: Absolutely not.

In MO it isn't an option. We can't hunt after 1 PM. Only being able to hunt part of the day is good for the turkeys. Gives them a chance to regroup for the evening and makes sure the hens all get breed.

Turkey on the ground?= dead turkey. There is no way to know which exact tree to sit under to get a shot at that tom.

I wouldn't shoot a turkey on roost, but wouldn't look down on someone huggin up to a roosting area and tryin to catch one before it heads back up.

How would this be different than setting up on a known strutting zone?
